About one-quarter of Shore Medical Center's emergency patients are children. Because children are not just small versions of adults, they require a special kind of emergency care. Shore Medical Center Emergency Department staff uses The Breslow system to help emergency personnel quickly correlate a child’s size to a chart indicating the most suitable equipment and medications. Color-coded emergency carts are already stocked with appropriately sized equipment and doses of medicine. Saving precious time and precious lives.
When the situation warrants, Shore's emergency physicians consult pediatric hospitalists (pediatric physicians who remain on site 24 hours per day) from The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.
